Epa Establishes Alternative Fuel Standard
As part of President George W. Bush's Twenty in Ten initiative that aims to reduce gasoline consumption in the United States up to 20 percent in the next ten years, Bush Administration's established the Alternative Fuel Standard (AFS) that will require companies including car manufacturer's to utilize about 35 billion gallons of renewable and alternative fuels in 2017.
In regards with this, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has also established the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS), the country's first ever comprehensive renewable fuel standard initiative. The RFS program was presented to the public during a recently press conference held last April 10, 2007 conducted by EPA and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administrator (NHTSA), along with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). Here is what the officials of the three government agencies have to say.
Energy Secretary Samuel Bodman:
"Increasing the use of renewable and alternative fuels to power our nation's vehicles will help meet the President's Twenty in Ten goal of reducing gasoline usage by 20 percent

Biodiesel is a dollar a gallon cheaper than regular gas on Maui. And the same price in many locations in Los Angeles! Plus the fact that BIOBEETLEs Diesel vehicles get much better fuel mileage than standard rental cars, one can quickly make up that price difference given the better fuel economy.... and protect the environment.... and your health, and prevent terrorism... and...
in ten years. The Administration's sustained commitment to technology investment will bring a variety of alternative fuel sources to market and further reduce our nation's dependence on foreign sources of energy."
Meanwhile, Nicole R. Nason, Administrator of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said: "While we must look at increasing the availability of renewable and alternative fuels, we must also continue to improve the fuel efficiency of our passenger cars and light trucks. As a part of the President's "20 in 10" energy security plan, we need Congress to give the Secretary of Transportation the authority to reform the current passenger car fuel economy standard."
The main objective of the RFS program is to promote the use of alternative fuels like ethanol and that can be abundantly produced from agricultural crops found all over the U.S. including corn, soy beans, sugar cane, and other vegetables. Some of the initiatives, requirements, and other objectives of the RFS program include: motor vehicles sold in the U.S. by 2012 should run on about 7.5 billion gallons renewable fuel mixed with conventional fuel (like diesel or gasoline); reduce the utilization of petroleum-based fuel up to 3.9 billion gallons; reduce the harmful emissions and greenhouse gasses by 13.1 million metric tons by 2012; and reduce gasoline use by approximately 20 percent after the next ten years.
With the RFS program implemented, we might see a Jeep model with quality Jeep steering damper that runs on ethanol or fuel.
